Montgolfier Brothers

The Montgolfier brothers -Joseph (1740 - 1810) and Etienne (1745 - 1799)- are famous French flyers. Many people know their names today because of their flight of a hot-air balloon in front of lots of people in the town of Annonay on 4 June 1783 - a first in the history of flying. These days you can visit the Science Museum in London and see a model of one of their balloons.
